Okay, so - I had to get a shot, but it was given by polite robots instead of a pissed off nurse who's been on his feet for 14 hours and smells like puke.

There's an all you can eat buffet, but I'm stuck on a boat in the middle of nowhere.

There's a full casino, but you don't win any actual money so it's all kind of pointless.

I'm in the Medium Place, huh? Am I right or am I right? ~~Oh fork me.~~ At least tell me the alcohol isn't all room temperature and that the buffet includes shrimp.

Has anyone seen a gorgeous giraffe, a dorky guy in unnecessary glasses who can't make up his mind to save his own forking life, a spaz who's probably wearing a monk's outfit or a track suit, a white-haired guy who wears a bow tie all the time, or Janet around?

...When did you figure it out??

Obviously my essence is in this meat suit, so.

Seriously? Where did I go wrong?

Well, chances are good you won’t remember any of this when you’re put back or dead.

I just wish you wouldn’t spoil it for everyone else. I’ve been having so much fun messing with actually good people.

Wait, so you don't remember?

Okay, abridged version then. So Chidi and I saw Todd as the lava monster that he actually is, and while we were all trying to figure out what we should do, you came to us for help against Denise because she was trying to take over the neighborhood and was blackmailing you to Shawn. I think that covers most of it. Also apparently you rebooted the neighborhood more than 800 times and we (usually me) kept figuring out where we really were.

Anyway, you took us to the Bad Place and we went through this portal thing and this Judge put us through tests that ~~I pa~~ we all failed and we were all about to be stuck in the Bad Place for good, but than Michael/Janet ex machina, you two showed up and now I'm here.

Hey now, so you've actually forgotten all the stuff you learned from Chidi about being a good person yourself? Does that mean I have to start teaching you?

	Eight-hundred times? This is a disaster. I don't even have a Janet to review the data with. I hardly doubt you or Chidi could teach ~~Unless this was all just the next brilliant set up to torture you with~~ ~~A shot at the real Good Place? Ha!~~ Yes, Eleanor. I believe this does.

Yeeep. Sorry to disappoint, but you managed to fail at fooling us 800 times, buddy. No hard feelings though, really.

Not having Janet around is kind of a bummer. So's not having the others.

I wonder if this place has books that can help with that. Do I need to apologize to a bunch of people for you? Though I bet if Chidi were here, he'd say that you should apologize for tricking them. Why don't we just start with that?

I think your apology would be much better. I could just watch and see how you think a good person does it. ~~Hilarious.~~

Besides, I didn't make Captain America or Quentin Coldwater do anything they weren't willing to do to each other already. Quentin's friends even got in on the drama.

Counter offer: why not help me? Let's face it, Eleanor. You're going to end up in the Bad Place anyway. Anything good you do for the sake of trying to get into the Good Place doesn't count.

We'd have much more fun exposing these do gooder world savers to be the human trash bags they really are. It's not like you owe these people anything.

~~Ugh~~ Fine, but you better pay attention because you will have to do it, too. You're the one who did the bad things around here, not me.

You messed with Captain America? [...] Captain America is real? And here? Does he have the arm muscles because I had that one gif saved on my phone for like three months before I threw it into a hotel pool to get out of some bogus charges.

You know, you're much nicer when you're trying to be good and actually caring about us and sacrificing yourself for me. And if I'm alive now, doesn't it mean that I could go to the Good Place if I actually do good things? I'm not the same bad person that ended up in that Bad Place anymore. Even you thought I deserved to go up instead of down.

	Fine, but you better pay attention because you will have to do it, too. I will definitely be watching. Captain America is real? Does he have the arm muscles... He is. He does. You know, you're much nicer when... I'm always nice. It's part of my charm. Even you thought I deserved to go up instead of down. I'm sure I did, dear. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Yeah I bet you will. Ooh, yummy. Eye candy! Lesson numero uno: Torturing people is not nice. So stop it. And don't be condescending either because unless you're Tahani it's really the opposite of charming. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Uh huh. We’ll see how long this good kick of yours lasts. I give it six months tops. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Blame Chidi and have a little faith. (Reply to this) (Parent)
